Dr. Dan | Neurodivergent Psychologist
I'm Dr. Daniel Wendler, an autistic clinical psychologist. I'm here to help you live better, connect with others on a deeper level, and flourish with neurodivergence. I offer practical insights that you can apply to your life right away (whether you're neurodivergent or not!)
After being diagnosed with autism as a teenager, I dedicated my life to building a world where everyone can belong. That led me to become a clinical psychologist, deliver two TEDx talks about my life with autism, and write several books (including my latest, "Neurodiversity and the Myth of Normal.") Today, I give trainings and keynotes on neurodiversity, mental health, and self-improvement to audiences across the country.
On this channel, I share my favorite tips for thriving with autism and ADHD, building a fulfilling social life, and living the life you've always wanted. I'd love it if you followed along to support me!

Five truths about finding your soulmate
I struggled with singleness for a long time. As someone with autism, dating was always bewildering for me. Sometimes I wondered if I was just too different for someone to want to spend their whole life with me.
I got married last year to an incredible woman. But I remember how lonely and hard it was to go through long stretches of being single. I thought about some advice that I wished I could give to my younger self who was going through those hard times. And then I wrote it up so I could give that advice to you instead
if you're feeling lonely, if you're wondering if your person is out there... I hope these words give you some encouragement, and help you find your partner.

It's easy to get discouraged. Our minds gravitate towards the mistakes we made, the goals we haven't accomplished yet.
But our harshest critic is always internal, and that inner critic is always a liar.
If it's hard to see the night sky, you might just need to let your eyes adjust.
If it's hard to see your value, you might just need to practice being a little kinder to yourself.
So... This is your sign to be on the lookout for your light. Let this encourage you to pause and take stock of everything you're doing right.
Every moment you're choosing bravery or kindness.
Every time you step you take towards growth or healing.
Notice them. Give yourself credit.
And keep going.
